An interview with Alanay Cekic of Turtleneck Studios about Rite of ILK at PAX East 2018. Sorry for the huge delay in me posting this as I said at the beginning of this interview this is for all intents and purposes the last episode of Mixedupzombies interviews. I have had things in life that have started take up more of my time that I would normally fill with this.

As a fan of more action based real-time strategy games, I was interested to see how the next game from the makers of Monaco: What's Your is Mine was shaping up. Here is my interview from PAX East 2017 with Andy Schatz of Pocketwatch Games on Tooth and Tail.

Here is another interview I recorded while at PAX East 2017. If you know me from previous stuff on my site, you would know I am a big fan of We Know the Devil. So, it was exciting to hear about the next game from the team behind We Know the Devil. Hearing that next game is about space pilots I was intrigued, as someone decently acquainted with Gundam and Sci-Fi. I had a great deal to talk about with Aeevee Bee and Mia Schwartz about Heaven Will Be Mine.

This was recorded right before we did the Best Level, Moment or Sequence episode. As with that one I was joined by Kevin Nolan (A Dapper Man) and Alyssia Farlight (Lain Farlight). We try to think of anything else we might have missed for 2016 and get into some of the negatives of games released. We also get Aly's take on our top ten list.

In the second of four podcasts, I am joined by Alyssia Farlight and Kevin Nolan to discuss the Best Level, Moment, or Sequence of 2016. We discuss the oddity of ranking something like That, Dragon Cancer. We give Hidden my game by mom and the whole Hap Inc. catalog a big shout out. We get into the reveals and endings of many games while also giving time to the small quiet moments that stood out to us.

In the first of many podcasts, I am joined by Kevin Nolan and Marc de Vloomanu to discuss the Best New Character of 2016. We talk about the complicated issue of most of Overwatch's story being supplementary content. Decide if Doom's (2016) Space Marine is a technically a new character. This and much more! I apologize again for the Stardew Valley snub it skipped our minds to the last second. Also, sorry for any skype notifications you may hear I did my best to try to edit them all out.

I talked with Robert Kurvitz about the upcoming game he is working on, Disco Elysium (Previously known as No Truce with the Furies). We go into the thought process of making a non-combat based RPG. We talk about the inspirations of Disco Elysium and the differences it has from a typical police procedural story.

Note: In this interview we talk about the game using its original name, No Truce with the Furies.

I got a hold of Jay Tholen to talk about Hypnospace Outlaw and its current Kickstarter. We talk about what it means to travel through Hypnospace and the danger of using memes and specific references as thinly-veiled jokes.

I got ahold of No Goblin's Dan's Teasdale to talk about the self described Blue Stinger of Playstation VR; 100ft Robot Golf. We also talk about the Army Men series of games and the medical validity of Far Cry 2.

This is the fourth and last of my audio interviews that I did while at PAX East 2016. I talked to Brian Gibson from Drool about Thumper. I should have probably used the word stark in replace of nihilistic in this interview.

This is the first of a few audio interviews I did while at PAX East this year. The first I did was with Arden about the game, Date or Die. If you would like to check the demo I played out you can do so at https://arden.itch.io/demo-or-die .
